 Name of Activity: Croquet Health Review
Purpose of Activity: The purpose of this activity is to review health facts while learning and enjoying the game of croquet. Suggested Grade Level: all Materials Needed: Croquet sets clip boards Health facts that you would like the class to review Description of Idea Croquet review can be a fun way for your class to review important health facts. First you need to identify nine facts that you want your students to know. Set up your croquet fields the same as you would for a typical croquet game. On each wicket place a health fact question. As students play the game they carry a clip board with them. Once they shoot their ball through the wicket they have to answer the health question that is taped to the wicket on their health facts sheet/clipboard. As a closure have all the students check their answers with your assistance or as a group review or with another team of students. 1) Why should you not take your pulse with your thumb? 2) Why should you always warm up before you stretch your muscles? 3) How does physical activity help you in school? 4) Identify three health risk factors that regular exercise and eating right will help you to avoid? 5) What are three junk foods that you eat each week? What can you eat that is avalible at our concession stand instead? 6) How much water should you drink each day to be properly hydrated? Ans: You should drink 6-8 glasses a day! 7) What is the leading cause of death in the united states? 8) What are the four health components of fitness that we test via fitness testing and what do they test for? Push ups=Muscular strength, Sit and Reach=Flexibility, Jogging/Walking=Cardiovascular and Pullups=Upper body strength 9) How many bones are in the human body? Can you name five? Assessment Ideas: This activity can be used either as a pre-test, review or as the quiz itself! Teaching Suggestions: If at all possible, be sure each student has their own individual equipment to eliminate sharing of equipment. Include an alternate activity, so that if one group is slower, there is no backup of students waiting. A jog around the gym is better than standing while waiting a turn. |
